Developers Incapable of Prioritizing Properly

[sw1442 3]

The developers of this game are seriously living in a fantasy land if they think it's appropriate to be working on new weapons and towns when there is a horrendous, just embaressing amount wrong with the rudimentary function of the game-

 

Pants and Boots need to be removed from the game, as currently they're constantly ruined for no reason if you are on a multi story buildling. Thousands of times I have been just chiling on a second floor of a buildling, suddenly scren goes gray, legs are broken, pants and boots ruined and everything that was in my pants becomes ruined.

 

Just remove pants and boots from the game because the developers are not able to correctly implement them.

 

The ambient noise also ruins the game. Constantly you hear random noises like  a player drinking or reloading right next to you, when in reality they are not there. This happens CONSTANTLY so much so that I now just turn off my volume because the game's developers have done the worst job at creating audio for a survival game I've ever seen in the video game industry, truly a horrible job. I mean when you can't depend on your ears in a survival game, that means you've lost 20% of your sensory information right there.

 

I imagine the developers will keep doing really stupid shit like working on hunting mechanics and animal pathing, when really they should be fixing the critical issues like sound and players dying for no reason because they went up a staircase.

 

Really sad because this game has so much potential and yet it can be totally ruined by an incompetent team of developers, they really need to clean house and hire some professionals.

You only need one topic.

Artists =/= Programmers

[sw1442 3]

I only meant to make one topic but I imagine the forum functions as poorly as the game so if more than one post was generated that's on the buggy forum code.

 

Yes, SFRgaming, artists aren't programmers. good observation.

 

Also, Cheese =/= Pastrami.

 

Glad we cleared all that up,

 

Now can someone tell me when developers are going to fix dying for no reason (from legs breaking randomly) and audio being totally non functional?

Or do people want to just avoid the subject that the most critical elements of this game are totally broken, and that the developers are not at all focused on fixing those critical elements?

Or your shitty internet.

 

Listen, Alphas are where things become "feature complete". It's really only about testing and implementing new items, features, ect., not about fixing bugs. This will come later- hence why they are placeholders atm. We are not players, we are testers, and people seem to forget that.

Yes, the forum is entirely to blame.

[Koala :3 116]

Oh yes, Fixing all the bugs and everything first, Then they add more stuff in because there wouldn't be bugs and glitches at all?

 

 

They have to add stuff in to fix the bugs/glitches that would be in the future.

1.  Pants and boots ARE implemented correctly, there are just some collision/desync errors when on second/third stories.  And if its that big of a deal, then just stop picking them up.

2. We know the sound is broken, but if you did any research at all, and actually took the time to read shit, which, im over 100% positive you didn't, then you would know that they hired a dedicated audio team that will focus on nothing but that.

3. How about you actually read the change logs.  The hype is for zombie mechanics and hunting, but if you actually dig deep and take 30 seconds out of your oh-so-busy day you will find they are working on other things as well.

4. The reason they are working on new towns and weapons now is to ensure that alllllllllllll possible bugs associated with them will be patched as soon as possible.  Hence why the spawns are all up north, as they want people to explore these new areas and try to find issues with them so the devs can quickly fix them, and its the same way with the guns.  They added the AKM, and want people to start using that instead of the M4 to try and help debug it, hence why they only spawn at heli crashes now.

 

Your entire post is nothing more than a childish rant from someone that clicks the "I Understand" button, but doesn't understand one bit.

 

I get a warm fuzzy feeling every time I see a thread like this.  Just know that in your absence, the game and community as a whole will be better off.

I'm trying to show you that adding guns and clothes has NO EFFECT WHATSOEVER on the development of 64-bit, ragdoll, cars, new render-er, etc

[nuggit 246]

misinformed new poster, is well, misinformed  :D

 

Welcome to the forums, this is a great community, if you know how to behave. Just a friendly tip, there is no need to start out on these forums having a big rant. There is constructive ways to get your points across without all the hate or sounding all self entitled.

 

You will find it goes down easier with the community, not only that, there is some great discussions to be had without getting flamed and topics locked quickly.

What is more sad, is the amount of players living in their own fantasy, where all opinions are stated as fact. Players are entitled to weekly updates that should contain more than clothes and various loots, bugs should be fixed with highest priority. The list goes on.

 

Have you actually done some digging around and realised what all the new additions their working on means for the future of dayz?

 

Renderer being separated from engine

Navmesh

New control/interaction system

64 bit servers, along side a few other big additions.

 

These are no small updates and require a tonne of work. It takes time and may seem unjust to the needy and impatient but it paves the way forwards.

 

It will be big, and it will change the way the alpha feels significantly. Until then I fear we will be hearing more outbursts about the unjust development  :o 

[skypig 139]

all will happen in time.. you ain't the only one to die on the stairs or get thrown off a ladder or fall through the floor.. or any number of things.

I feel your pain.

I too wish they'd work on what annoys me before doing things like building up the game and then tackling the bugs in some silly professional way.. screw logic and common sense!! gimmegimmegimmegimme!!

[GrappleX 354]

Well, if you fix the current bugs, which can take god knows how long, then add a ton of shit, what are you going to have?

 

(Hint, more fucking bugs.)

 

At least the way they currently operate means bugs get fixed, and we get new content. Which is better than the bugs getting fixed at the same pace, and we get diddly dick.

 

Even if nothing more was added from here on out, the bugs would get fixed at the same pace. Sixty or whatever coders will work at the same speed regardless of whether or not there are 50 or 0 artists.

Out of sheer curiosity, given you have labelled the dev team incompetent and suggested they don't know, what software dev experience/qualification do you have to pass this judgement?

As at the moment, I'm just picturing an angry little nerd who still lives in a basement.

And, you mentioned that the game is ruined by the audio issues. It cannot be ruined since it's not yet finished. That's like saying a car is ruined by bad handling during testing to set up the suspension.

Anyway, interested to know what wealth of experience you have in the software dev/game dev industry to pass these judgements.

Perhaps you have explosive pants?

[igor-vk 909]

next time google before you buy game! there isnt one article on the internet that says: "playable, no bugs at all, must buy!! 98%"

with millions of yt videos, and forum treads, and redits people are still suprised??

You class 'remove pants and boots' as a valid opinion?

Pretty sure that opinion is the prequel to naked rants on public transport.

And an opinion cannot be valid if it has no basis, so until the op is able to provide an indication of what he is basing his opinion on, it is intact invalid.

[Inception. 9443]

Didn't actually read the OP's post, it was too long.

 

Don't post next time if that's the case please.

Then what are you doing here, spam.

The tree branches cracking and doors opening are ambient noise.

 

The reloading, drinking, eating etc. sounds that you hear are not ambient noise. They're real sound effects that other players activate and because of a server side problem caused by high player population everyone can hear them.

 

Therefore, your opinion isn't valid.
